-# removeLineBreaks.py

-# Demonstration of the pyparsing module, converting text files
-# with hard line-breaks to text files with line breaks only
-# between paragraphs. (Helps when converting downloads from Project
-# Gutenberg - http://www.gutenberg.org - to import to word processing apps
-# that can reformat paragraphs once hard line-breaks are removed.)
-#
-# Uses parse actions and transformString to remove unwanted line breaks,
-# and to double up line breaks between paragraphs.
